A WORD ABOUT PROHIBITION.

This is not exactly the time to be of i'm
mediate interest, nor is it, pleasant duty to
comment on the workings of prohibition
in this town, but desiring to be true to
every promise made the public, it is neces-
sary we should call attention to some facts
i'll reference to it which are probably not
recognized by the great mass of our citizens.
Without undertaking at this day to discuss
the right or wrong of the law-the adj
vantagGS or disadvantages following its
eXecution-it can be stated as a demon
stratle fact, there is nearly as much whis-
key shipped to HendertOn as there was
before local option. If any one doubts this
statement he can satisfy himself of its
truth by reference to the railroad books.
II as much comes here, there is as much
sold here, and il sold here, it is drank here.
This is d reasonable conclusion, and if
correct, we ounght to have the hundreds of
dollars revenue on it formerly paid by our
licensed barrO0mS. 1t is not intended to
intimate there is any crooked selling; there
is nothing Of the kind; the sales are con-
Quoted, as far as can be ascertained by
those who have every opportunity to know,
with the strictest regard to the law; but
that law is defective, and should be re-
pealed, which leaves us burdened with
what is called an evil, while it deprives US
Of the revenue legtimately belonging to
said evil Let the people of Henderson
ispassi0nately consider these things, and
do, at next election, as their Judgment
dictates.

his State at large.

WEsTsRooK SEMINARY.
Celebration of Glass Day by 's7.

The Senior class at Westbrook held their
Glass Day exercises yesterday afternoon at
o'clock. 1t has been the custom to hold
these exercises on the campus, but owing to
the inclemency of the weather the class was
obliged to hold them in the Seminary chapel
which was tastefully decorated by the young
ladies of the class. who displayed very fine
taste.
There was goodly number of students
present, but not so large an attendance of
the public as there would have been if the
day had been pleasant. On the platform
were seated the president of the Seminary,
Rev. J. P. Weston, d. d.. and Mr.. Alvah g.
Pettingill, the President of the class of 49,
AT the right of the platform the senior class
was located. The class consists of thirteen
members-ten young ladies and three young
gentlemen. In front of the platform sat the
Junior class of 'SS consisting of eleven men,
bers; little to the left were seated the
the members of Chambers orchestra, who
played many fine selections throughout
the afternoon. To the left of the platform
sat the teachers-Prof. A. B. Allen, Mrs. A.
B. Allen, Prof. Stone, Miss Lee and Miss
Morton.
The exercises opened with music, followed
by prayer offered by DR.. Weston. Then
came more music, after which Mr. A. G.
Pettingill delivered the Grafton, which
showed much careful thought and prepare
ton. He opened the address with fitting
compliments to the president of the Sem
mary and teachers. He aptly addressed the
Junior class, and closed with some we'll
chosen words to the Seniors. After music Miss
Lamb read the class history, which was full of
pointed illusions and very interesting. Then
came the class prophecies by Miss Phelan.
Her power of imagination certainly was
equal to the requirements of the part that she
performed and she prophesied success for all
her classmates. The class poem was writ
ten by Miss Fogg. 1t was well written, of
excellent style, and good lesson could be
drawn from it.
Each candidate of the class was awarded
prize by Miss Milliken who made presenta-
tion speeches. As she took the little TOYS out
box she had something appropriate to say
to each candidate and this was quite a
humorous feature in the exercises The ex-
ercises closed with music.
The tree planted by the glass was an elm.
Many OF the class trees are identifying the
grounds at the seminary.
On the whole this occasion was a very
pleasant and will long be remembered by all
the students, as well as by the Seniors.

THE TEMPORARY HOME.
Annual Meeting and Election Of Off
GERS.

The annual meeting of the Temporary
Home for Women and Children was held at
the Home in Deering yesterday afternoon.
There was good attendance, notwithstand-
ing the dull weather.
Mrs. Longfellow, the president of the So
ciety, presided. From the report of Miss
Harriet L. Fox, the secretary, we make the
following abstract
The Home is not only a retreat forIthe de-
graded and sinful, but it offers a temporary
retreat and shelter for any woman or child
who desires its humanity or even shelter
for the night. The door is open for all, old
or young, who need aid or comfort until a
home can be found for them with a respon-
sible person. Our great hope is for the little
ones who are brought to the home by the
mother, or sent there to be cared for until
some friend can give them the motherly love
and fatherly guidance needed, which has
been denied them. Our results thus far have
been encouraging and we claim the sympathy
of our friends without the disheartening and
false accusation that we are fostering vice.
All the children adopted from the Home
have now the parental affection desired for
them and the babies carried into families
where the mothers have gone to service have
been considered pleasant additions to the
households
The average weekly family at the Home
dren. For the whole year there have been
90 inmates; 81 girls between the. ages of II
and "a, 20 OF whom have been sent to places.
OF the 20 children, one has been adopted, 10
sent with their mothers, and have died.
There have been but few cases of insubordi-
nation, and these have quickly yielded to the
matron's firm and kind treatment. The little
treats given the inmates have been well ap-
preclated-a Christmas tree, a day spent with
friend, etc.,-making the inmates feel that
somebody cares for them.
The act of the Legislature giving the soci-
ETY. full control of its inmates, and the assist
ance afforded by the $1,000 appropriation.
will prove of great Importance and value to
the society.
Miss Marian d. Gould, treasurer, reported
balance in the hands of the treasurer at the
last annual meeting $543.09. OF this sum,
$3.50, which had been received from life men,
berships, was set apart for a permanent fund,
leaving a cash balance of $293.09. To the
permanent fund of $3.50, life membership
of $25 received during the year has been
added, making the permanent fund $275.
The following officers were elected:
President-Mrs. A. w. Longfellow.

MR.. Fox'S ART CLASS.
q Fine Exhibition Presented at His
Studio.

Mr.. Charles Fox's studio at No. 1877 Dan
forth street is open this week to the general
public. Some of the work done by Mr..
Fox's pupils during the past winter is there
exhibited. The collection represents about
one half of the actual number of studies in
original compositions paintings in oil, dec
orative work, drawings through the antique
to life, and modelling in clay. But" as
one of the students truthfully says, "our
few sketches and pieces of modelling, but
poorly express all that our happy winter in
this studio has been to us. Our master, with
his talks on art topics and with his broad.
generous ideas, has helped us in so many
directions that only time can enable us to
represent it all in our work"
On entering one Is at once impressed with
the individuality ofIthe sketches and studies.
of monotcny, Is the best proof that the work
is the pupils own-not touched and re-
touched by the teacher. The modelling in
clay from life forms an interesting part of
the methods of instruction adopted by Mr..
Fox. 1t has been conceded that the most
sure and rapid way to arrive at correct
drawing is through modelling.
Some of the studies, representing the use
OF clay and drawing. together in the same
subjects-three days work each-enable the

both. Nothing of this kind has ever before
been exhibited in our city, and it lends un-
usual interest to the entire collection. Some
of these fifty pieces of art modelling from
life indicate marked ability.
Another interesting feature of the exhibit
ton is that of original composition upon
Biblical and classical subjects. This most
difficult department of art education is sue
cessfully entered upon and progress in it
has been steady and marked during the
winter.
The paintings represent the labor only of
two or three days on each subject. They
mustbe judged in reference to the short time
that the pupils have devoted to them, and
also the great difficulties to be overcome.
Some points of great merit are noticeable In
each painting.
Turning from the earnest and serious work
OF the pupils we see before us only one small
painting by the master himself We hope
that hundreds of cur citizens will avail them
selves OF this sole opportunity to see this

with delicate color. In the young girls face

in this, his native city. The enthusiasm that
he has created among his pupils this winter
is good indication of his success ART.

RAILROAD INTERESTS.
The Nickel Plate, the New Fast
Freight Line from Portland to the
West.

FtSiSnt Line from Portland to the
West.
An office of the Nickel Plate Line. a new
last freight route from Portland to the West,
has recently been opened in this city at No.
90 Exchange street. The route Of the Nickel
Plate is via the Portland q Ogdcnsburg rail-
road from this city through the Notch to
Fabyan's and the Vermont Division of the
Boston & Lowell railroad to st. Johnsbury,
Vt, st. Johnsbury d Lake Champlain rail
road to Maquam Bay, Ogdensburg & Lake
Champlain and Rome, Watertown and dog
densburg to Syracuse, N. Y, the West Shore
to Buffalo and from Buffalo ever the New York
Central and st. Lawrence railway nickel
Plate to Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati and
ST. Louis and intermediate points, and all
points South and West thereof, with through
connections with all trans-continental roads
to the Pacific coast.
The agent of the line in this city is Mr.. ].
II. Pierce, who has been connected with the
line as travelling agent for New England for
three years previous to coming to Portland,
and is thoroughly posted on all matters per-
tanning to through business to the West.
Mr.. Pierce informs us that the Nickel
Plate road lis used largely as freight line,
and is thus enabled to make quick time on
all through freights, especially in car lots.
The matter of rates and classification under
the Interstate law are now so arranged that
freight is going forward regularly, and with
the usual despatch. The line is we'll equip
ped with new rolling stock, and has agents
in all the principal cities in the West.
Mr.. Charles S. Tappen, general manager of
the line, with an office at Rochester, N. Y,
was long associated with the old Hoosac
Tunnel line as manager, which position he
resigned some years since to accept the pres
ent one with the Nickel Plate. Mr. j. j.
Bassett is the general Eastern agent, with
headquarters in Boston.
1t is to the untiring efforts of Mr. Walter
Tolmaa, general freight agent of the Port
land Ogdensburg railroad, that the mer-
chants of Portland still have the benefit of
through rates to and from the west. Bust
ness men of the city predicts brilliant future
for the Nickel Plate.
Following are the rates in cents per hun
dred pounds from Portland, and intermediate
stations, taking Portland rates, to points
named. as follows:
